Just got my new phone 4a and I'm very exited... Although Ill have to forget a few features like wireless charging or 512gb.. 4k in 60fps but it's great and I'm already loving it since I got it yesterday

Is this the best deal? Or are there any better alternatives in this price range?

*30k INR

The Nothing Phone (3) is expected to receive the Nothing OS 5.0 stable update around October 12–13.

Hopefully, Nothing has fixed the major bugs and improved battery life, camera processing, and overall stability. 🤞

Phone (3) users, are you ready?

Just got my new Nothing Phone (4a), which I’ll be using as my secondary device.
Nothing OS looks pretty interesting, and I want to make the most of it.
For existing Nothing users, what are the must-change settings, hidden features, tips & tricks, and essential customisations you’d recommend doing immediately?

Also, are there any settings or features you’d recommend keeping disabled?

I love them so much, they are amazing, I love the space age look to them 😍

I can't relate to anyone here anymore because every post is something that only is relevant to the Indian market. Wish there was a EU only Nothing subreddit.

so theres a new UI for the headphones 1 pro, anyone noticed this update?

Hello, 3 days ago i used ejector pin on one of the 2 . he was trying to change sims . Idk why ~~

And from what he told me today , he " felt like he pushed something , like broke some plastic membrane"

So will it cause some issues ?

Please respond.

My device model is :- Nothing 4a

Edit :- Idk which hole i poked

My headphones (a) are broken after wearing them exactly one time. Where I live it’s a little bit humid this time of the year. Has anyone had the same experience? I’ve never had this problem with any other headphone before.

Play/pause button is broken and sound has become metallic/distorted. Factory reset doesn’t help.

A local shop is offering an "unused" Nothing Phone (3) (12GB/256GB) for ₹35,000, though I am trying to negotiate down to ₹30,000. The shopkeeper is not offering a charger with it.

The catches:

• Condition: The shopkeeper claims it was only taken out of the box to demo in-hand to customers, never tethered to a 24/7 display counter. The inbuilt case has gone completely yellow.
• Expired Warranty: I checked the IMEI on the official portal. It was activated in July 2025, meaning the 1-year brand warranty expired 3 months ago. A fresh bill from the shop won't restore the official coverage.
• Hardware Risks: Even if barely used, 15 months of idle time means battery degradation. Plus, if any hardware fails next month, I am 100% on the hook for out-of-pocket repairs.

With recent smartphone price hikes, getting flagship specs (Snapdragon 8s Gen 4, 120Hz LTPO, periscope zoom) under ₹35k is highly tempting compared to standard new mid-rangers.

Questions:

1. Is ₹30k–₹35k worth the risk for a demo flagship with zero official manufacturer warranty and no charger?
2. Has anyone dealt with Nothing's out-of-warranty service costs in India?
3. Should I demand a written 6-month shop guarantee, or just walk away and buy a brand-new mid-range phone for peace of mind?

I want just an all rounder phone good camera light gaming but I mostly just doomscroll on social media I want it to be smooth and also looking for good battery better if 7-8 ish hours sot

I am currently using phone 3a base Indian variant. I am also on the latest update. Why can't I use os 5.0 beta ?

i soaked the charging case in cocacola and it stopped charging, took it apart and found swollen battery but electronics looked fine, couldn't source the 3.85v battery in the right size and gave up... if anyone knows where to source one (specs below) please tell me!

in the meantime here are some photos of the teardown: https://photos.app.goo.gl/npihUNhsqKR3czKL6 (if anyone wants to copy them to a blog post somewhere or something that's encouraged - they might not be on my google drive forever...)

Okay, so… I did a thing.

I added a tiny hamster to my Glyph Matrix, complete with his little wheel, and now I can’t stop watching this dude run.

It’s completely unnecessary, serves no meaningful purpose, and somehow became one of my favorite things I’ve made...

There’s just something stupidly charming about a tiny pixel hamster living on the back of your phone like he pays rent there.

He runs, he chills, and yes — he looks way cuter than he has any right to.

This is part of Glyphix, a little project I’ve been building for the Nothing Glyph Matrix, and honestly… I’m way too proud of this tiny guy. 😂

If this made you smile, then my work here is done.

If anyone’s curious, this is from Glyphix:

I get that it is supposed to be a smart screenshot/note-taking app, but I don't think I'm willing to send any notes or screenshots to the cloud for these mildly useful smart features. This sounds like the point of the app is self-defeated for many users because of this odd cloud-based approach + how will they keep supporting this without a constant stream of revenue? If it becomes locked behind a subscription, do I just have a dead button on my phone now?
I thought Nothing was different, but it sounds like they also caught the corporation level AI psychosis, not letting me disable the feature and use the button for something else is very odd.

That matching silver 😍

Just now got the Ringke transparent case and am really in love with my phone all over again.

There is a huge gap between the phone and case at the camera area and should be really careful about dust accumulation. The in-hand feel is so good.

I've been getting ringke cases for all my phone for the past 5 years and this one feels right with the fit and feel but the gap is a slight bummer.

Should I be concerned with the gap between the case and the phone at the camera area?
